Finding Truth in a False Idyll


nature: noun /ˈnāCHər/ a nebulous word that generations have struggled to adequately define.

The world's changing shape and humanity's increasingly complex relationship to it have only added to difficulty of this task. In this spirit of continuing the discussion, we're sharing our e-mails about False Idyll by J.B. MacKinnon.

subject: False Idyll | J.B. MacKinnon | Orion Magazine

I thought I had found an interesting article for you but as it is from Orion I assume you beat me to it. What do you think of it? Come to Alaska. I can show you the not so nice part of nature.
